What to look forward to

I am due to have GS at Beaumont Troy in October. I am trying to make a list to keep me motivated of what to look forward to during and after weight loss such as being able to cross my legs. Any ideas?

Wearing riding boots! getting boots that will go over my calves.

No more diabetes meds

Better sex life! ????.

Paddle boarding, ride on back of jetski with BF, not needing wide calf boots, wearing heels, wearing sexy dress and feeling good!

So many......you'll stumble from one to the other and wonder how you never thought of "that" one before....

Reduced pain

Ability to do whatever you want

Smiling all the time

Sit in any booth, chair, stool, bar, etc, etc, etc

Airline flights w/o fear of having room or having to use a damn seat belt extender

Walking into the gym and feeling like you belong there

Ability to go to any restaurant and order from any menu......yet have the knowledge to know how to order a healthy meal

Last but certainly not least.......sex damnit sex. Enjoy thyself like never before.....or at least like a teenager.

Oh there's so many! I'd second all of these! Mostly, as a woman, crossing my legs, fitting in a stadium seat (or any seat) better, not getting so winded so easily, and....sex!

Oh and the boot thing. My husband bought me these awesome Michael Kors boots for Christmas last year. Not wide enough. But I never returned them. I'm hoping I can wear them this Christmas.
